CONSERVANCY DISTRICTS AND <br /> <br />RECLAMATION PROJECTS <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />There are two major Water Conservancy Districts in the lower <br /> <br />portion of Irrigation Division No.1: The Northern Colorado Water <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Conservancy District, created to contract for the construction <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />and repayment of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project; and the Lower <br /> <br />South Platte Water Conservancy District, created to contract for <br /> <br />the construction and rep~yment of the proposed Narrows Project. <br /> <br />NORTHERN COLORADO WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT <br /> <br />Although the tax-paying lands in the Northern Colorado Water <br /> <br />Conservancy District lie principally in the "mountain tributary" <br /> <br />water districts and encompass Boulder Creek, St. Vrain Creek, Big <br /> <br />Thompson River, and Cache 1a Poudre River, the Conservancy District <br /> <br />also covers lands along the main stem of the South Platte River <br /> <br />from the Brighton area past Greeley, Fort Morgan, Sterling, and <br /> <br />Ju1esburg to thc state line. <br /> <br />(The lands in the lower part of the <br /> <br />valley are also included in the Lower South Platte Water Con- <br /> <br />servancy District, an overlapping district created to contract <br /> <br />! <br /> <br />for the Narrows Project).
